A JOINT venture agreement between DHL Supply Chain and Berli Jucker Logistics (BJL) seeks to improve logistics operations in Thailand.

BJL is part of the larger BJC Big C Group.

According to a statement, this partnership seeks not only to enhance distribution efficiency for BJC Big C Group, but also to establish a logistics and supply chain platform to serve existing and new customers, particularly in the healthcare sector.

“Through this collaboration, BJC Big C Group is set to strengthen and transform BJL into an international-standard logistics provider, instilling confidence among customers across diverse industries including packaging, consumer goods, and healthcare products,” the BJC statement read.

This partnership is said to provide strategic access to Thailand's fast-growing and dynamic economy for DHL Supply Chain.

Thailand is said to be emerging as a dynamic trade hub for the entire region.

A signing ceremony took place at Big C House on 7 November 7, 2025 with senior executives of both companies.

BJC president and chief executive Thapanee Techajareonvikul said the collaboration reflected BJC Big C Group's vision to build a robust and fully integrated supply chain.

“Beyond supporting BJC Big C and our subsidiaries, our goal is to elevate Thailand's logistics standards to be on par with global benchmarks, while expanding opportunities into promising new markets particularly in healthcare,” Ms Thapanee said.

DHL Supply Chain chief executive Javier Bilbao said the joint venture was more than just a partnership.

“It is a strategic step in how DHL Supply Chain and BJC Big C Group are shaping the future of logistics in Thailand together,” Mr Bilbao said.

“As customer needs evolve and industries such as life sciences and healthcare demand even greater precision and reliability, this partnership strengthens our ability to deliver smarter, more resilient supply chains.”

DHL Supply Chain Thailand Cluster chief executive, Steve Walker said BJC Big C Group and DHL Supply Chain had worked together for more than two decades.

“By combining our strengths, we will not only continue to serve BJC Big C Group but also extend world-class logistics solutions to new customers,” Mr Walker said.

“With DHL's global expertise, technology, and innovation, we are building a logistics platform in Thailand that is efficient, resilient, and sustainable."

Ms Thapanee said they were confident the partnership would significantly enhance the efficiency and performance of the BJC Big C Group.

“With the combined strengths of both organizations, the BJC–DHL joint venture is poised to become a true ‘game changer’, driving Thailand's logistics industry to the next level and supporting both consumer needs and regional economic growth in the years ahead,” she said.
